Обсуждение: Writing a user defined function
Hello, I am trying to code a simple udf in postgres. How do I write sql commands into pl/sql ? The foll. code doesnt work. CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION udf() RETURNS integer AS $$ BEGIN for i in 1..2000 loop for j in 1...10000 loop end loop; begin work; declare cust scroll cursor for select * from tpcd.customer; FETCH FORWARD 5 FROM cust; end loop; CLOSE cust; COMMIT work; return 1; end; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; select udf(); thanks, Suresh -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Writing-a-user-defined-function-tp18532591p18532591.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - general mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Take out the BEGIN and COMMIT, and if you still get errors post the function code and the error message that you get. -Doug

^^^^^^----- Here's your problem!
You can't have a transaction inside a function - the function is already
executed inside a transaction.

Hello, I want to profile some functions in postgres using gprof. I am following this procedure listed in nabble forum. # cd postgres/bin # cd .../src/backend # make clean # make PROFILE="-pg" all How to proceed after this ? I am not getting the gmon.out file. How do I run ./postgres test under the profiler ? thanks and regards, Suresh |
configure postgres with the following options 1. ./configure --enable-profiling 2. make and make install 3. start psql and issue the query 4. gmon.out will be in the data directory once you exit from psql -Sushant.
